Nearly 1,000 workers in a range of public and private employment make up Laborer's International Union of North America (LIUNA) Local 483.
Originally formed in Portland's Mt. Tabor park maintenance shed (a horse barn) in 1927, the Local has evolved through 10 decades of struggle. Local 483's fundamental purpose is to fight for better wages, benefits and working conditions of its members, and to be a positive voice in the community as a whole.
